The Balearic Islands' Port Authority (APB) has set up the seventh edition of the Painting and Photography Contest on Balearic ports and lighthouses. The main objective is to photograph and/or paint Palma's Alcudia's, Mahon's, Ibiza's and La Savina's ports and the lighthouses managed by the APB in the islands with the aim of promoting, from a plastic perspective, their cultural heritage and natural surroundings.
As in previous editions, Palma's Circle of Fine Arts has cooperated with the contest. All those painters and photographers interested can participate in the contest, whenever the works are unpublished and have not participated in any other contest. Three categories have been established: watercolour, other painting techniques and photography.
A total of 8.000€ will be handed over to the winners. The first watercolour prize and the first prize for other painting techniques are valued at 2.000€ each, and the first photography prize at 800€.
The works must be presented from the 10th to the 31st of October 2016, both inclusive, in the different APB's headquarters at Palma's, Alcudia's, Mahon's, Ibiza's and La Savina's Ports.
The jury is formed by representatives of the APB and Palma's Circle of Fine Arts. The complete contest rules may be checked out at http://www.portsdebalears.com/en.
